Hey Lee, if you thought yesterday was cold - don't go outside
today.


i was just out with the small dogs (as opposed to the big dogs, one
of whom stays outside 99% of the time & one who goes out in the dog
yard when someone opens the door. the small dogs walk through the
electric fence) & it's not that bad out. it was -0.4 earlier, but
it's up to 10 now & dead calm.
in between decorating a tree, baking cookies & wrapping stuff i need
to get out back and refill the feeders & dig out a nice area for the
juncos, who have been eating out of the feeders & suet holders the
past few days. juncos prefer to be ground feeders.
the squirrels are less than happy that i put the feeder in the dog
yard but the seed lasts a lot longer... they haven't figured out
that there's a feeder & the suet feeders outside the dog yard...
